KEVIN MacDonald is on the “bawl” when it comes to getting Villa’s players to follow his orders.

MacDonald kicked off his caretaker reign in style when Villa started the season with a 3-0 win over West Ham.

And winger Marc Albrighton is confident the Scot’s no-nonsense approach will continue to get results.

“He knows how to get the best out of a player,” said Albrighton. “If you are not doing it right he will tell you but if you are doing it well he will heap the praise on you and put confidence into you.

“I don’t think you can ask for much more from a manager.

“I know what kind of man he is and the rest of us like him as the manager. With the manager bringing confidence to you it is a great feeling.

“He wants everything done right and with his style of management he gets everything done right.

“His record at reserve level has been brilliant so he will step into Martin O’Neill’s shoes for the next couple of weeks and I think he will do really well.”

Albrighton has played under MacDonald for the reserves and regards him as more of a people person than predecessor O’Neill.

“He is more of a man-manager,” added Albrighton.

“He will get the best out of you. If you are not doing it right he will bawl at you and shout.

“I don’t think the lads are used to it but will take well to it. If you are not doing it right you have to be told.

“And if you are doing it right you need confidence breeding in you and I think he will do that. If you are not doing well in training you are not going to play at the weekend.
